VUZIX WRAP 920
Whether you’re on a flight or traveling on a bus,
the Vuzix Wrap 920 is the most lightweight way to
watch 2D and 3D videos on the go. The award-
winning sunglasses-style video eyewear lets you
enjoy your favorite films and shows in crystal-clear
quality, as if you were viewing them on a virtual
67-inch screen from 10ft away. Plug it into your
computer, tablet or iOS device with a VGA adapter
to catch side-by-side 3D videos on YouTube,
or into an iPhone or iPad. Wear it over your
prescription glasses and it’ll still be a comfortable fit.

OPTRIX HD SPORT
MOUNT
Are you into skateboarding, mountain
biking or racing? Here’s good news: you
can shoot films while you’re on the move
with the Optrix HD Sport Mount — the
first weatherproof rugged case designed
to transform your iPhone 4, 4S and iPod
Touch into an action sports camera. The
HD Sport Mount securely houses these
gadgets and provides easy access to its
interface, enabling instant playback, video
editing or uploading. You’ll also get to see
a full-screen image of the framed shot,
and adjust shooting angles quickly with its
one-hand quick release. Strap it on while
riding a jet ski or skydiving — it is designed
to keep moisture and dirt at bay too.

GRIFFIN GUITARCONNECT PRO
Are you a rock star, or is that a GuitarConnect Pro plugged into your iPad? Designed to work
with any instrument that has a one-fourth inch jack (that means guitars, bass guitars, electric
violins, keyboards, etc), GuitarConnect Pro turns an iPad or iPhone into a compact performance
or practice rig. Users gain a high-quality, all-digital connection from instruments directly into
GarageBand and most Core Audio apps, and a built-in gain control wheel lets you adjust
the strength of the instrument’s input signal. At one end is a one-fourth inch mono jack to fit
standard instrument cables; at the other is a dock connecter for the iPad and iPhone. Enjoy the
sound either with speakers or headphones with the headphone jack of the iOS device. Rock on!
